coiling the XLR
Here's sort of an explanation on how to coil XLR cables: "Hold the cable end in your left hand, connector pointing away from you. With your right hand, bring a small amount of the cable to your left hand, making a loop. Now the tricky part. The next pass, you are going to twist your right hand at the wrist, so the cable coils "under" itself for this one pass. Then go back and do another "over" pass as you did the first. (you are never going to be able to figure this out, but hell, give it a try) Then another "under" pass, and so forth. The great thing is this allows you to coil the cable without imparting a twist in the cable. And it will uncoil quite nicely."
Maybe we should have a quickie podcast/video showing the technique? It's easier to show rather than trying to explain right? But for now maybe we can make sure to show people who check it out how to properly coil cables. Thanks Christophile
